Hi @swapna vellanki, AFAIK we cannot call Apigee policies from external tool or language. Please explain your usecase/requirement, so that we can understand and help you out.

We generally use policies within an API Proxy. You can call these proxies from external tool or language.

Hi @Siddharth Barahalikar,

API Proxy has many policies in it.so as a tester I have to test the proxies and policies.

Please correct me if I am wrong and My team also new to APIGEE.

If possible ,can you give us the External tool or language names to test the proxies..

Thanks,

Swapna

@swapna vellanki, proxies are Rest Services and can be tested using variety of tools.

Ex: Postman, RestClient in Browsers, cURL, Httpie etc.,

For testing a proxy you should know one or all the below things,

• The URL of the API proxy endpoint.
• Any query parameters, headers, or body parameters passed in a request.
• Any required authentication and authorization credentials.
• The format of the response, including the response data format, such as XML or JSON.

As a tester one should be testing the proxy. In case of errors each policy gives an unique error message or we can also customize the error messages & codes and analyse them.
